Can I buy it now and take advantage of the sweet price despite not owning a Wii U just yet? Kinda like with the browser version of PSN Store? I own a Wii if that's of any help...

I think you can buy the download code even if you don't have a Nintendo Network ID (I think it's to help with people gifting games)

Check the links below because I'm not certain on the details:

Thanks, but... Hey, is it NA only? Doesn't Europe get the Trilogy for 10 Euro? I guess I can't buy a NA code and play it on a EU console?

The sale prices in all regions are £9 UK/€10 EU/$10 USA/$11 CAN/$13 AUS.  

But I think buying the download code online with the links I posted were meant for a Wii U in the US or Canada.  I might also work on NA console in another region?  I don't think it'll work on a EU console though and there is no way to buy a code online outside the NA site.

I have bought the Trilogy for the Wii some while ago and all three games are simply amazing! Prime 2 not as much as Prime 1 and 3, but still!

my download isn't working.
i have tried 4 times...
any other with same issue?



Switch!!!

I didn't want to buy - as I already own Corruption and the Trilogy...

But seeing the dramatically improved loading times I just couldn't resist.

Still have to finish Prime 2...

Just played some months ago Prime 1 - wanted to test if the Remote bar was installed correctly - and before I could blink I was sucked in again.

As the Trilogy was a bargain - this is the steal of the century.



Own 1 & 2 on GC and 3 on the Wii.

Bought the eshop trilogy day one. 3 fantastic games for £8.99? No brainer.

Plus, i never got to play 1 & 2 with the motion controls.



Current Game Machines: 3DS, Wii U, PC.

Currently Playing: X-Com(PC), Smash Bros(WiiU), Banner Saga(PC), Guild Wars 2(PC), Project X Zone(3DS), Luigis Mansion 2(3DS), DayZ(PC)

Dont know if this question has been answered but when u say the rest of this week are wee talking about till next friday ? at least by the 6th of February ?

"This game is part of the Throwback Sale from 1/29 at 9 a.m. PT to 2/5 at 8:59 a.m. PT" - source 

So the sale ends on Thursday, February 5th at 8:59 a.m. in the morning Pacific Time (GMT -8) in N.A.



To play again or not to play again. That is the question.

I want to get the digital copy, but I already have the physical copy from a long time ago.

So the Metroid Prime Trilogy is only $10 on the Wii U eshop for a limited time (I think the rest of this week).  
Anybody own Metroid Prime 1&2 on the Gamecube and Metroid Prime 3 on the Wii that is also going to buy the Trilogy on Wii U? 
 
 
From what I gather the differences are:
+ added motion contols for 1&2
+ 16:9 support
 + they fixed some bugs and glitches
+ some slight tweeks in bosses
+ you can unlock fusion suit
- the original menus are replaced by a central one
- no normal control option
 
 
For me the motion controls were good in Prime 3 but they sometimes screwed up with bosses when I had to jump around a lot.  I think it was partly due to my TV being higher than my sitting position and sensor bar position.  I think I'll still buy the Trilogy just to see how it looks on my HDTV as opposed to my old CRT TV.
 
 
Below is a video showing the load time differences between Wii disc and eShop version of the Trilogy:

 
What are your reasons for buying or not buying Metroid Prime Trilogy for $10 on the Wii U?


3 on Wii, but negative for 1 & 2.



Gotta figure out how to set these up lol.

Are you going to buy the Trilogy on eShop to play 1&2 (if you haven't already)?
